WASH X GALA

Every year, FACE Africa hosts one of the largest gathering of Africans and Friends of Africa in the diaspora making a difference in their respective industries and communities, while raising funds and awareness for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) programs.

Join us on Saturday, March 23, 2019 in New York City as we celebrate our 10th Annual WASH Gala while using our platform and convening power to amplify our reach, influence and impact. Funds raised from this year's WASH Gala will support community WASH programs across the continent through advocacy, grassroots awareness campaigns, policy development and community engagement.

The event will include a VIP reception on the eve of the Gala, African-inspired food stations, premium open bar, silent and live auctions, award presentation, keynote address, and live music followed by an After-party.

About FACE Africa

For ten years FACE Africa has worked to strengthen WASH programs and services in Liberia, and most recently Nigeria. Our success to date includes the completion of WASH and community health projects in rural communities across Liberia and Nigeria that have brought life-changing programs to more than 150,000 people through extensive community involvement and engagement, the establishment of community-based WASH Committees and post-implementation maintenance.

By demonstrating the success of our community-based model, we are working to reshape the narrative around WASH and using our platform and collective voices to amplify our reach, influence and impact.

Through advocacy, grassroots awareness campaigns, policy development and community engagement, our mission is to increase awareness of WASH challenges and solutions, and most importantly convert that heightened awareness into financial, technical, and human resources flowing to the sector.

Our WASH advocacy supports and enable citizens and communities to demand accountability and influence political leaders who create the policies, laws, regulations and budgets regarding provision of WASH in their communities.
